DESCRIPTION:
In 2005 the City Council adopted Resolution 116-05 amending the City’s benefit plan, and
Resolution 167-05 establishing the City’s 401(a) Governmental Money Purchase Plan. The
401(a) plan allows employees to defer a portion of their salary during employment and accrued
vacation benefits when they separate from the City for retirement, over and above the amount
that can be deferred into the 457 deferred compensation program offered by the City. The plan
is subject to limitations established by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which reviews the
plan document every six years.
ITEM NO. 4.3
Page 1 of 2
Since August 2005, the City has contracted with ICMA-RC to provide administrative services for
the plan. ICMA-RC recently submitted its updated plan documents to the IRS for review and
approval. The updated documents incorporate amendments for legislative and regulatory
changes that have occurred since the City Council approved the contract in 2005. There are no
substantial changes to the plan itself, and no changes to the provision of this discretionary
benefit to employees.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution that will continue the City’s
participation in the 401(a) Plan.
